Cherry tomatoes could easily become the go-to snack for kids wanting a little something to eat between meals. One cherry tomato plant in a container garden is a perfect way to have a steady crop of bite-sized snacks this summer!

Starting a container garden can be a fun activity that can turn into a long-term family project.

Cherry tomatoes also perform well in Upside-Down Tomato Planters that kids are sure to enjoy! Big nutrients can come in small packages and these little babies are loaded with various vitamins and minerals in addition to protein, fiber and vitamin C. Reach for this perfectly plump and healthful finger food!
